Antique hybrid nearly lost to cultivation but thanks to Jim Fox, we can keep this going. Jim visited Graham Stuart Thomas at his home in England and Graham handed Jim his spade and insisted he dig a piece. As if God himself spoke, Jim obeyed. This is the kind of provenance that makes the Keno brothers animated on Antiques Roadshow. Narrow elegant yellow flowers and fragrant in the evening, this is such a nice change from the huge modern hybrids as it retains a nice species look which we gravitate towards. It is important to keep these heirloom plants going as many of Perry's introduction are now lost to cultivation. Hybridized by Amos Perry who was one of England's first two Daylily breeders and he registered 'Thelma Perry' in 1925 as a hybrid with H. thunbergii as the pod parent and H. citrina as the pollen parent.

We know, we know, a daylily cultivar? But bear with us on this one as its been a long-term favorite of the across the pond garden hegemony since its introduction in 1960, and yet seemingly forever unavailable to our coarse yankee constituency. So rare and choice indeed in its way, even amongst the 60,000 some odd competitiors. Pleasant buttery yellow flowers on bright green stems, and well renowned for its lovely scent said to be among the best in the genus.
